Bill > S07743

This bill clarifies that the writing instruction required as part of compulsory education in New York State must include cursive writing, in addition to other fundamental subjects like arithmetic, reading, and spelling. The education law, which outlines the curriculum for the first eight years of full-time public schooling, is being amended to explicitly state that "cursive writing" is a component of the writing requirement, ensuring that students continue to learn this traditional form of handwriting alongside other essential academic skills.
